Mint Discs Sublime Salamander 6 | 6 | -2 | 1
If you have been searching for effortless distance and silky smooth shot-shaping, the Mint Discs Sublime Salamander is here to deliver. As the slowest driver in the Mint lineup to date, this highly glidey, understable fairway driver has quickly become a fan favorite in the Mint Discs Salamander Collection. Designed as a "longer Lobster," it features a smaller, highly comfortable rim that makes it a dream for backhand throws and tight wooded lines.
Flight Numbers
Boasting a speed of 6 and a massive glide rating of 6, the Salamander is built to fight gravity. The -2 turn allows it to flip up easily or ride a smooth, panning anhyzer, while the gentle 1 fade ensures a soft, predictable landing. It flies similarly to a Jackalope, but with noticeably more glide and a more accessible rim size.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | -2 | 1 |
The Sublime Salamander delivers:
- The "Longer Lobster": Faster and longer-flying than their wildly popular understable midrange, giving you that same dependable turn with extra distance.
- Maximum Glide: Fights to stay airborne with minimal effort, offering massive value for tight woods lines or open tailwind shots.
- Player Utility: For beginners and slower arm speeds, it flies dead straight to gently turning. For power players, it serves as a highly reliable, touchy hyzer-flip or long roller disc.
- Ergonomic Profile: Built with a thin, comfortable rim, it sits perfectly in smaller hands or for players who prefer a clean, easy release.
Sublime Plastic
Manufactured by MVP, Mint's Sublime plastic is the perfect intersection of aesthetics and performance. Very similar to MVP's Plasma plastic, the only word that comes to mind when you touch it is "Sublime." It provides an optimal mix of tacky grip and premium durability, typically featuring a gorgeous opaque metallic look that catches the light beautifully on the fairway.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Salamander compare to the Mint Lobster?
Mint Discs explicitly markets the Salamander as a "longer Lobster." It takes the highly workable, understable flight characteristics of the Lobster midrange and applies them to a 6-speed fairway driver, giving you similar shot-shaping ability with noticeably more downfield distance.
Is the Sublime Salamander good for beginners?
Absolutely. The 6-speed rim is very easy to grip, and the -2 turn combined with a massive 6 glide allows newer players to achieve incredibly straight, easy distance without needing a powerful arm.
What does Sublime plastic feel like?
Sublime is manufactured by MVP and is comparable to their Plasma plastic. It offers a slightly gummy, highly tactile grip with excellent durability, highlighted by a metallic or sparkling finish.
